CPNE7 (Copine-7) protein functional domain. Selcopintide acetate is a synthetic peptide that mimics the activity of full-length CPNE7 by binding to its molecular targets involved in odontoblast differentiation and dentin formation. It acts as a dentin production promoter and is used in dental and hard tissue research. The peptide sequence is KYKQKRRSYK (human CPNE7 residues 344-353).

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Odontoblasts (MDPC-23 cells) are directly penetrated by selcopintide (Cpne7-DP) acetate[1]. The dspp promoter activity is increased in a dose-dependent manner by selcopintide(1, 10 μg) acetate [1].
In vitro, Selcopintide acetate directly penetrates into odontoblastic (MDPC-23) cells. It highly reproduces the in vitro effects of CPNE7 by upregulating odontoblast marker genes, including DSPP (dentin sialophosphoprotein) and Nestin. The peptide promotes odontoblast differentiation and dentin formation, making it a valuable tool for dental regeneration research. |
| ln Vivo |
In both shallow and deep cavity models, secopintide (Cpne7-DP; 10 µg combined with human DPC cells in 0.5% fibrin gel and implanted subcutaneously) acetate stimulates the development of dentin-like tissue and the closure of tubular dentin and dentinal tubules. Regeneration [1].
In vivo efficacy data for Selcopintide acetate are limited. As a peptide that promotes odontoblast differentiation and dentin formation, it is expected to have applications in dental pulp regeneration and repair of dentin defects. The peptide likely promotes reparative dentin formation in animal models of tooth injury. Further in vivo studies are needed to evaluate its potential for clinical translation in restorative dentistry. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cell-based binding assay: For peptide characterization, mass spectrometry and HPLC are used to verify sequence identity and purity. Binding to its target protein(s) is typically studied by pull-down assays using biotinylated Selcopintide acetate immobilized on streptavidin beads, incubated with cell lysates from odontoblastic cells. Bound proteins are identified by mass spectrometry to confirm interaction with CPNE7-related pathways.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cell-based activity assay protocol: MDPC-23 odontoblastic cells are seeded in 6-well plates (2×10⁵ cells/well) and cultured in differentiation medium. Selcopintide acetate is added at concentrations of 1-100 uM for 24-72 hours. For penetration studies, cells are treated with fluorescently labeled Selcopintide and visualized by confocal microscopy. Gene expression is assessed by qRT-PCR for DSPP, Nestin, Runx2, and other odontoblast markers. Protein expression is confirmed by Western blot.

| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Immunocompromised mice (NIH-bg-nu-xid)[1]
Doses: 10 µg Route of Administration: subcutaneous (sc) transplantation in a 0.5% fibrin gel Experimental Results: Promotes dentin-like tissue formation. Promotes the regeneration of tubular dentin and dentinal tubule occlusion in shallow and deep cavity models. Dental injury repair model (suggested): Male Wistar rats (8-10 weeks old) undergo dental pulp exposure under anesthesia. Selcopintide acetate is applied directly to the exposed pulp at doses of 10-100 ug per tooth. The cavity is sealed with dental cement. Animals are euthanized at 1-4 weeks post-treatment. Teeth are extracted, fixed, decalcified, and processed for histological analysis. Dentin bridge formation is assessed by H&E and Masson‘s trichrome staining. Odontoblast marker expression is evaluated by immunohistochemistry. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic data for Selcopintide acetate are limited. As a synthetic peptide (MW 1444.7, acetate salt), it has limited oral bioavailability and is typically applied topically or injected locally for dental applications. The peptide directly penetrates into odontoblastic cells when applied to the dental pulp. Stability and half-life in biological fluids should be evaluated if systemic administration is considered. Store at 2-8degC for short-term or -20degC for long-term storage.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicity data for Selcopintide acetate are limited. The peptide is intended for research use only and not for human therapeutic applications. In vitro studies show direct cellular penetration and functional effects at micromolar concentrations. No significant cytotoxicity has been reported at effective concentrations. Standard safety precautions for handling peptides should be observed. Purity ≥95%.
